Official Statement by the Ontology Team We are sorry to learn that in the MBL withdrawal opened at 12:00 on July 11th, 2019 (UTC), Patrick, one of Ontology’s Telegram English admins, used inappropriate language in the community. The Ontology team has decided to remove his admin post from all official Ontology and ecosystem partner groups immediately. Patrick will no longer serve as an admin for Ontology or any of its ecosystem partners, neither his personal opinion nor his future actions will represent Ontology. Ontology highly values our Korean ecosystem partners and has been closely following the suggestions and feedback from the Korean community. We sincerely apologize for this incident. We will formulate more regulated code of conduct in our communication with the community and step up efforts to better select and train community admins, so as to better serve the community. We apologize once again for the ill feelings this incident might have caused and will be open to criticism and suggestions from the community. We will also take necessary measures to prevent similar incident from happening again in the future. The Ontology Team July 12th, 2019
